In older vehicle to balance the rpm there is RPM sensor or optimizer ( i dont know the exact word). Its the same when u put on AC on idle it increases RPM by few hundred, and when u engage to D with AC on it drop the RPM to normal.

Check the sensor, that might be the culprit.

Regards to 4x4 in Cherokee is 2 wheel drive normally, and for engaging 4 wheel you need to push the lever down and move forward. Part time means H (high gear) for offroad drives. 4WD full time means (LO gear) for pulling, towing, recovery, steep climbs or heavy 4x4 applications.
